Syracuse. C. Anti's book, Teatri Greci Arcaici , reached me only when my article had arrived at page-proof. His theory on the earlier form of the cavea at Syracuse is as follows. As mentioned on p. 152 above, there is, in addition to the semicircular water-channel at the foot of the cavea, an earlier rectilinear channel, also rock-cut. The latter is three-sided and roughly in the shape of a trapezium, with the two short sides pointing towards the parodoi. Anti dates this channel to the period of Hieron I (478–67 B.C.), and considers it to have formed the base of a trapezium-shaped rock-cut cavea with three rectilinear sides
